| Prices of Flour and Other Necessities 


Have Been Higher 

With the advance of high-grade 
barrel, we are told 
that flour has -risen to “the highest 
price since the Civil War.” It thas 
really reached a higher price than it 
brought during the Civil War, for 
the high ‘rate which then prevailed 
was expressed in terms of paper 
money, and at one time during the 
war.a dallar in gold was worth $2.85 
in paper, In terms of gold, the high- 
est price attained by flour during the 
Civil War was $4.90 a barrel. We 
are, therefore, now paying in gold 
twice the price for flour. that was 
paid in the Civil War. The present 
price neitwer of flour, wheat nor cot- 
ton is a record price. In 1795 flour 
sold at $12 per barrel, and in 1796 at 
$16. A hundred years ago, in 1817, 
it was $14.75 a barrel. Wheat is now 
at $1.83 per bushel, December deliv- 
ery, but in 1854 wheat brought $2.21 
per bushel, in 1855 $2.43, io 1866 
$2.09, in 1869 $2.05, gold. In the 
meantime, wages -are very much 
higher than they were in either one 
of the years named. There have been 
many periods in which the prices of 
the necessaries of life, relatively to 
wages, were much greater than they 
are now.—Boston Transcript,

A TALK ON RHEUMATISM 


Telling How to Actually Cure This 
Common and Painful 
Malady 


This article is for the man or wo- 
man who suffers from rheumatism 
who wants to be cured, not merely 
relieved—but actually cured. The 
most the rheumatic sufferer can hope 
for in rubbing something on the ten- 





der, aching joint is a little relief, No 
lotion or liniment «ever did or can 
make a cure. The rheumatic poison 
is rooted in the blood. Therefore 


rheumatism can only be cured when 
this poisonous acid is driven out of 
the blood. Any doctor will tell you 
this is true. If you want something 


| that will go right to the root of the 


trouble in the blood take Dr. Wil- 
liams’ Pink Pills. They make new, 
rich blood which drives out the pois- 
onous acid and cures rheumatism to 
Stay cured. The truth of these state- 
ments has been proved in thousands 
of cases throughout Canada, and the 
following cure is a striking instance. 
Mr. Henry Smith, St. Jerome, Que., 
says: “For upwards of a year I was 
a victim of rheumatism in a most 
painful form, The trouble was locat- 
ed in my legs and for a long time I 
was so bad that I could not walk. 
The suffering which I endured can 
only be imagined by those who have 
been similarly afflicted, Doctors’ 
treatment did not help me and then I 
began trying other remedies, but with 
Finally I was ad- 
viséd to try Dr, Williams’ Pink*Pills, 
and although I had begun to lose 
faith in medicine I finally decided to 
give the pills a trial. I am very 
grateful now that I did so, for after 
taking eight boxes of the pills the 
trouble completely disappeared, I 
was free from pain and could walk 
as well as ever I did in my life. I 
have since taken the pills occasion- 
ally as a precautionary measure, and 
I cannot speak too highly in their 
favor.” 

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure all 
the troubles due to’ weak, watery 
blood or broken down nerves. You 
can get these pills through any dealer 
in medicine, or by mail postpaid, at 
50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 
from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 
Co., Brockville, Ont, 


Canadian’s Smart Rejoinder 

Travelling recently in the United 
States, a Canadian banker was ob- 
served to occupy a seat in a com- 
partment in which a German was 
loudly boasting of what Germany 
had achieved during the war. The 
Canadian was furious, but kept his 
temper, and asked the German if he 
were a soldier, 

“Yes,” said Fritz. “Then why 
don’t you go back and fight,” asked 
the banker, “I can’t get there,” was 
the reply. “Well,” said the Cana- 
dian, “I’m going to England next 
week, and there's nothing to stop me, 
Germany doesn’t seem to have gain- 
ed much if it is impossible for a Ger- 
man to cross the seas and fight for 
his Fatherland,”

Windsor Street Station a Model 
It has been said by officials of 
other roads that the Windsor street 
station is the best kept of any they

superintendent of the building. Cer- 
tainly the station proper, the yards, 
the platform, the tracks, the con- 
course, the waiting rooms—all bear 
testimony to the scrupulous caré 
with which they are treated. There 
is not a scrap of paper to be seen 
anywhere. The motor trucks have 
their entrances and exits; but they

French Appreciation 








——_— 





Prominent Frenchmen Refer to the 
British Arms in Eulogistic 
Terms 
Our French friends speak of our 
share in the joint victory with a warm 
and generous enthusiasm which, we 
can assure them, we appreciate and 
return. M. Poincare, in a message to 
King George, speaks of “the brilliant 
successes won by the British Army.” 
The Echo de Paris offers our glori- 
ous army the “grateful and heartful 
homage” of France. General Zurlin- 
den declares that France will “never 
forget” our effort; M. Barthou de- 
scribes our soldiers as “true broth- 
ers in arms,” and M. Pichon says 
that “Britain with her man-power and 
material is winning the war,” and 
that “the day when we entered the 
war was the day of Germany’s de- 

feat."—-London Times, ‘

“What do you do?” asked one man, 
of another in the smoking car. 

“I work for this railroad,” replied 
the other. 

“What is your job—do you sell pa-

“No, not exactly,” replied the sec- 
ond. “You know the man who goes 
alongside of the train and taps the 
wheels with a hammer to see that 
everything's all right? Well, I help 
him listen,”

Is Your Home Safe ? 


Many of Canada’s Fires Are in 
Dwelling Houses 


The fire record for 1915 shows that 
of 1,625 fires reported, 676 were in 
the homes of our people. The great 
majority of these dwelling-house fires 
occur at night, when the lives of the 
occupants are endangered. 

From the 676 homes the greater 
portion of the families were turned 
out at night in wintry weather. In 
these fires, 141 lives were lost. 

The chief causes of these home 
fires are: Carelessness in allowing de- 
fective chimneys exist; careless- 
ness in the use of matches; careless- 
ness» in*many other--ways. ----- 5 
Householders should see that’ the 
heating equipment is fire-safe, that 
there are no cracks in the chimney 
to allow sparks to enter the attic; that 
furnace pipes are thoroughly clean 
and at a safe distance from. wood- 
work; that stoves, ranges and stove- 
and all 














‘surrounding woodwork protected, 
and that 


lamps and lanterns are in 
good condition. 

Carelessness with matches caused 
69 fires last yéar; overheated stoves 
and furnaces, 51; defective and 
overheated chimneys, pipes, etc., 62; 
electrical defects, 55. These causes 
are all easily ayoided and should be 
guarded against in future, 

Homes should be made reasonably 
firesafe by taking the simplest neces- 
sary precautions. Safety First is as 
essential in the home as at work. 














Writing a Love Letter — 

While a certain Richmond family 
were in Europe the dusky housemaid 
acted as caretaker, and more than 
once she reccived in the dining-room 
an admirer in the person of one 
Henry Morgan, cab-driver, according 
to Lippincott’s. One evening, when 
the maid and the Jehu were making 
merry, there came from the kitchen 
a painful scratching sound. 

“What’s that noise in de kitchen?” 
demanded the maid’s admirer, “Must 
be a dawg tryin’ to git in,” 

“Don't yo’ worry,” answered the 
maid, “dat ain’t no dawg a-scratchin’ 
at de do’. Dat’s de cook a-writin’ a 
love letter.”—Exchange.

The Fat of the Hun 


It would not be surprising to learn 
that the falling-off in the morale of 
the German troops is largely due to 
dietary causes, Fat plays an import- 
ant part not only in the nutrition of 
the human body, but in renewing the 
energy which is being constantly dis- 
sipated in the form of radiant heat, 
Metabolized fat is the storage bat- 
tery of human energy, and with the 
average German, under normal con- 
ditions, the battery is exceedingly 
well charged, If one regiment weie 
to be fed with dry bread and another 
with toast buttered cold, there would 
be a marked superiority in the energy 
of the toast and butter eaters. The

have heard so much has a true and 
wholesome natural instinct. — Mon-

How a, Canadian Officer Gave His} 
Life in Capturing a German 
Machine Gun 


I heard today, too, from certain 
Canadians who have been in recent 
fighting, the tale of one of their offi- 
cers, who was off in the far North- 
west when the war broke out, and he; 
came by canoe and on foot 500 miles 
to join the Expeditionary Force, He 
went through all the fighting that his | 
division has seen, and rose gradually 
through the successive non-commis- 
sioned ranks till he got his commis- 
sion. A German machine-gun in a 
certain post was holding up his men, 
and he crawled up until quite close 
to it, and then went for it single- 
handed. When his men came on, 
they found his body lying across the

Oldest Stone Image 


Ancient Relic Discovered Recently 
in Japan 


An ancient and ownerless edifice 
standing in a village called Shiki- 
shima, in Shiki district, Nara prefec- 
ture, has been found to contain a 
number of rare artistic treasures in 
the shape of antique Buddhist im- 
ages, says the Herald of Asia. The 
discovery of these rarities, one of 
which is believed to be the oldest of 
the kind in Japan, is due to Mr. Se- 
kino, doctor of engineering; Mr. Ma- 
tano, chief of the Imperial Museum 
at Tokio, and Mr, Niino, of the Nara 
Art Gallery. They are of the opinion 
that the tottering edifice is none 
other than a temple called the Sckiiji 
which was built in the Nara perio 
(710-794 A.D.). The stone image, the 





centre figure, as it were, of the edi-| 


fice, represents the Yakushi Buddha 
and is four feét in height, more than

It was’ probably made some 2,100 
ears ago, in the era of Hakuho, and 
is the oldest stone image in Japan, 
says a report from: a Nichi-Nichi cor- 
respondent. The head man of the 
district is now trying to have it in-

Awful Asthma Attacks.—Is there a 
member of your family who is in the 
power of this distressing trouble? No 
service you can render him will equal 
the bringing to his attention of Dr. J 
D. Kellogg’s Asthma Remedy. This 
remarkable remedy rests its reputa- 
tidn upon what it has done for oth- 
ers. It has a truly wonderful record, 
covering years and years of success 
in almost avery part of this contin- 
ent, and even beyond the seas. 





Improvement of Game Laws 





Prohibition of the Sale of Game By 
Several Provinces 
That the trend of game protective 


legislation throughout Canada is dis- 
tinctly toward restricting, and ulti- 


mately prohibiting the operations of], 


market hunters, is clearly manifested 
by recent amendments to the game 
laws of Ontario, Manitoba and Sas- 
katchewan, In Ontario the sale of 
water-fowl and of quail, partridge, 
woodcock and snipe is prohibited un- 
til the autumn of 1917, Manitoba 
and Saskatchewan have gone much 
farther and the effect of their pres- 
ent laws is to prohibit the open sale 
of practically all game in any season 
of the year. 

The market hunter is the recogniz- 
ed guerrilla of destruction with re- 
gard to wild life, and the traffic in 
dead game is responsible for at least 
three-quarters of the slaughter that 
has reduced the game birds of North 
America to a mere remnant of their 
former abundance. Nearly all the 
provinces of Canada have placed re- 
strictions upon ‘the market gunner, 
by prohibiting the sale of game en- 
tirely, or during certain seasons, Un- 
fortunately, in most instances, such 
laws have been enacted only as an 
extreme resort to protect depleted 
species from virtual extinction, In 
view of the disastrous and inevitable 
results of allowing the market hunter 
to carry on his destructive occupa- 
tion, the, logical procedure is to an- 
ticipate and prevent the. result by 
prohibiting market gunning before it 
has succeeded in HE hoy our splen- 
did resources of wild life to the verge 
of extinction,

“HAD ALi. GIVEN UP? 


Sarnia, Ont.—‘‘About 27 years ago I

in bad shape. I got ~ I had to go to 
bed and I was there for over three months, 
I could not eat and suffered untold agony. 
I had three of the best doctors I could get 
but it just seemed nothing was going to

thought I would never be any better and 
was willing to give up and die rather than 
suffer as I was. A neighbor of mine told 
me of Dr. Pierce’s wonderful remedies 
and I decided to use them. My husband 
bought me six bottles of ‘Favorite Pre-- 
scription.’ I had not taken it long until 
I felt better. In less than six weeks I 
was out of bed, and in less than six months 
I was cure and have been well ever since. 
Do all my own work. I have raised three 
daughters, two are married and have 
ehiliren. They have used it and they 
are healthy, so are their children. I am 
sure it was all on account of my having 
them use the medicine. ,

But she was not stupid; and quick 
on the heels of this impulse there 
came to her the consciousness that 
this would be unavailing. Lord Moor- 
hampton would listen to her, would 
perhaps be influenced by her argu- 
ments. But by and by he would 
again be subjected to other influences 
stronger than any she could bring to 
bear; he would be persuaded and ca- 
joled by his wife, who would be un- 
der the influence of her brother. And 
then not only would all the good done 
by Mabin’s arguments be undone, 
but she would perhaps find that she 
herself had been made suspect in’ his 
eyes. 

There was silence for a few min- 
utes, and then the sound of a gong} 
reached their ears. 

“Dear me,” said Lord Moorhamp- 
ton, glancing at the clock which stood 
tall and massive, between. two book- 
cases. “That's the first dinner bell.” 

Mabin sprang to her feet. 

“Lord Moorhampton, will you 
think me rude if I go away at once, 
tonight?” she said. 

“1 shouldn't think it rude. 
incapable of rudeness. But I can’t 
allow it,” he said gently, “I will go 
up to town with you tomorrow, and 
then, if you decide that you would 
preter not to came back here, I must 

ow to your decision, although it will 
cause me very great regret. I have 
never had such an amanuensis, nor 
can I hope ever to get one so good 
again.” 

But Mabin shook her head. 

“T should like to go now, please,” 
said she. 

“That I cannot allow. You must 
at least dine with us first.” 

“Oh, no, no,” said she, shrinking 
back, “how can I? I have nothing 
with me but the clothes I have on.” 

“That is a difficulty which Lady 
Moorhampton’s maid can very soon 
fret over,” said he indulgently. “Come 
with me, and we will put matters on 
a satisfactory basis without delay.” 

He made her take his arm, and led 
her, timid and shrinking, out of the 
room, along the passage and into the 
hall, 

Captain Dalmaine was whispering 
to Lady Moorhampton, who was on 
her way upstairs; she was leaning 
over the banisters, and he was stret- 
ching up to speak to her. Joe Wright 
was standing, with his feet planted 
wide apart, his head bent, his hands 
in his pockets, and a cigar in his 
mouth, on the great rug before the} 
fire. He had that curious crumpled 
look, that appearance of having been 
held under a waterfall, which express- 
es acute demoralization. 

He glanced up and frowned surlily

“Thank you,” murmured the girl. 
“But you must excuse me. I prefer 
not to dine with you. I shouldn't feel 
at all comfortable, should 1?” 

She had recovered a trace of her 
girlish spirit, the very excess of Lady 
Moorhampton’s insolence restoring 
her self-confidence. After all, what 
was Lady Moorhampton to her thet 
she should care what she said or what 
she did! There were other things of 
far more consequence to worry one- 
self about! 

“If you would really rather dine by 
yourself, why, of course, we must let 
you do so,” said Lord Moorhampton, 
“However, I hope you may be induc- 
ed to change your mind. You know

And he went. 


But before doing so, he managed 


to convey to Mabin, by uplifting of 
the eyebrows and drawing down of 
the mouth, that he was going away 


from her against his will.

and the viscount patted her arm re-

“My dear Edith,” he called out to 
his wife, “I want you to hand Miss 
Wrest over to the care of your 
maid, and to get her to find her some- 
thing in the way of a dinner dress

arrives.” 

This speech cast dismay upon all 
his hearers, but especially upon Ma- 
bin, who uttered a little moan of des- 
peration at the thought that she was 
to be imprisoned at Heath Hill 
against her will, 

Lady Moorhampton, as was to be 
expected, flashed down upon her hus- 
band and the girl an indignant look. 

“Oh, certainly,” she said with with- 
ering coldness, “Miss Wrest is wel-

Her tone was of set purpose insult-

“Well,” said he with a_ smile,

been lifted from his mind, “I, think 
we have arrived at a conclusion which 
will satisfy you, Miss Wrest.” 

Mabin stiil looked anxious, for she 
saw on. Lady Moorhampton’s face, 
under the forced smile she wore, a 
look which was hard, cold and dis-

went on, “are both extremely anxious

sires no delay to make ourselves cer- 
tain about him, She, as well as I 
wishes to see him here at once. Ev- 
erything can be cleared up after- 
wards. We can trust my solicitor 
with that.” 

Now to Mabin this news was dis- 
quieting in the extreme. Knowing as 
she did that this new attitude on Lady 
Moorhampton’s part was the result 
of consultation with her brother, and 
aware that by this show of amiabil- 
ity towards Ciprian’s child both bro- 
ther and sister counted upon recover- 
ing their place in Lord Moorhamp- 
ton’s good graces, the girl foresaw 
nothing but peril in the new arrange-

while she addressed both husband 
and wife in imploring. tones, “till you

SS 


of October. The chief item in the 
record is the increase of Pits 
by half a million pounds of butter, of 
20 per cent, as compared with the 
eriod of last year. 

During the season the co-operative 
creameries had a total output of 
2,500,000 pounds of butter. Sixty- 
seven cars of butter have been 
shipped to points outside the pro- 
vince, while the local trade took care 
of about four carloads per month. 
There were 9,200 farmers who sup- 
plied milk and cream to the cream- 
eries, 

A new venture proved to be a suc- 
cess. This was a trial shipment of 
butter to England from Alberta, 
Manitoba an Saskatchewan, the 
provinces combining to make a car- 
load of butter, which went to Man- 
chester, England. This shipment of 
butter was made direct from. Regina 
and contained butter from Manitoba 
and Alberta as well as that furnished 
by. the creameries of Saskatchewan. 
All the details in connection with this 
shipment were looked after person- 
ally by Mr. Wilson, and it was parti- 
cularly pleasing to him to find out 
that the butter had been well re- 
ceived in England; in. fact, a demand 
has been created and there are great 
possibilities for a future market in 


Me Pe: 

he Dominion Dairy of Regina in 
1916 will have a total output of about 
half a million pounds of butter. 

Mr. Wilson states that in the de- 
velopment of markets the interests 
of the producer and those of the con- 
sumer had been given equal consid- 
eration. He believes the policy of ex- 
tension of markets cannot be served 
to best advantage from the view- 
point of the farmer by taking advan- 
tage of an unusual situation, and that 
is the exacting of a last cent from 
the consumer. The dollars and 
cents of the producer are those of the 
consumer. In the policy of exten- 
sion for future markets it is his wish 
to secure the best possible for the 
producer. 

Plans for an amalgamation of the 
sixteen co-operative creameries in 
Saskatchewan are being perfected 
at the present time. 

The mode of procedure which it is 
proposed to follow will be to form a 
parent company, the stock of which 
will be given to the members who 
hold stock in the sixteen co-opera- 
tive creamery companies, which it 
lif proposed to amalgamate. The 

abilities and assets. of the sixteen 
companies would be assumed by the 
new organization which would be 
under one management. In pointin 
out the advantages of the proposal, 
Mr. Wilson said that profitable mar- 
kets could be better maintained, 
jmore favorable legislation secured, 
| and a greater prestige given to the 
one company than could be secured 
_by the sixteen creameries operatin 
separately. The combined strengt 
of the companies would also lead to 
more generous and larger borrowing 
powers for financing the industry. 
| “An organization already exists,” 
said Mr, Wilson, “whose avowed ob- 
ject is to undermine the co-opera- 
tive creameries and union would 
give the members greater resisting 
powers.” He said that he did not 
anticipate any radical changes in 
the policy of the business - if the 
amalgamation was consummated, and 
as each creamery would be able to 
to a convention at 
| which the details would be discuss- 
ed, the members would have com-

One of the first things taught the

This is an ancient custom and is 
carried out by every officer and man

Sir George Foster Urges 





That Canada and the whole Em- 
pire should prepare for peace condi- 
tions in the same manner that they 
prepared for war was tlhe argument 
yeeros by Sir George Foster, Min- 
ster of Trade and Commerce, before 
the Canadian Club of Montreal. 

Sir George gaye an address full of 
ideas and ideals, his concluding ad- 
vice being that the whole people 
should unite in work for peace condi- 
tions, to mect the entirely new 
hases of life that would be evolved, 
just as they had_ united to produce 
men and materials for war. His main 
idea was that the whole country must 
organize then to produce, and pro- 
duce for useful ends, just as it had 
organiezed now for destructive ends, 
and to this end he appealed to the 
business men of the country to unite 
patriotically for the general good. He 
argued that with the changed condi- 
tions after the war only increased 
production could meet the situation 
—mere “swapping” in trade would 
mot do it, nor would the making of

money in brokers’ offices, or the 
criminal boosting of real-estate. It 
was orily the real production of real 
values from the invaluable resources 
of the country that could save the 
situation. 

Sir ‘George pvinted out that when 
peace came there would be hundreds 
of thousands. of Canadians returning 
—men who had béen taken from pro- 
ductive Ao destructive work, while 
very many of these would be unfitted 
for future work, 

With between thirty and forty mil- 
lions of soldiers engaged in destroy- 
ing the accumulations of the world’s 


tions caused by such work, Sir 
George argued that every condition 
of life would be changed when the 
knell of war sounded, and peace once 
more reigned, and it was time people 
realized this. 

“You have given freely and gener- 
ously for war,” he concluded. “Pre- 
pare to give just as unselfishly 
the works of peace.”

Believes She Was Saved

All One Side Was Cold and Powerless When She Began|? 
Using Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food 





A dead nerve cell can never be re- 
placed, In this way it is different to 
other cells of the human body. But 
feeble, wasted nerve. cells can be re- 
stored, and herein lies hope. 

In this fact is also a warning to 
take note of. such symptoms as 
sleeplessness and loss of energy and 
ambition, and restore the’ vitality to 
the nervous system before some form 
of helplessness results, 

Nervous prostration, locomotor 
ataxia and paralysis are the natufal 
results of neglecting to keep the 
nerves in healthful condition. The 
aise of Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food when 
you suspect there is something wrong 
will soon restore vitality to the ner- 
vous system, and thereby prevent 
scrious developments.

The Bread Profits 

But while the, flour contained in a 
bushel of wheat ‘costs the Vancouver 
baker $2.20, and the householder a 
little more for retail profits, the fam- 
ily which buys bread pays seven and 
three- sanehihe to eight cents per 
pound for a little over sixty pounds 
of bread made from that quantity, 
This means $4.35 to $4.80 per bushel.

turn this flour into bread and deliver 
it to the consumer as it did to raise 
the wheat, carry it to the mill, grind! 
it into flour and carry the flour to the

Quality of Wheat 


Why Hard Wheat Is Always Pre- 
ferred by Millers 


Millers prefer wheat that is hard 
and flinty to a wheat that is made 
up of kernels that are white and 
starchy in cross-section, Kernels of 
the latter type are softer and more 
easily crushed and are spoken of as 
“soft wheat.” A considerable re- 
duction in price is often made when 
this “soft” wheat is offered for sale. 

Dr. W. P. Headden, of the Color- 
ado Agricultural Experiment. Station, 
has succeeded in determinin the 
cause of this trouble and sive the 
sata which every farmer can sup- 


y. 

In brief, the cause of “yellow- 
berry” is a high percentage of pot- 
ash in the soil in proportion to the 
available nitrogen, The remedy is 
to keep the nitrogen contents of the 
soil as high as possible without in- 
creasing the potash. This may be 
done by the addition of nitrates, the 
rotation of crops in which alfalfa or 
some other legume is used, and by 
‘proper. tillage,

Two Kinds of Peace 


Peace “Palk in Germany and in Great 
Britain 


Marine the past month or two 
there has been a great deal of talk 
about peace in high quarters in Eng- 
land as well as in Germany. But be- 
tween the things that have been said 
in England and the things that have 
been said i in Germany there is a sharp 
contrast in two essential respects: 
In the first place, what the German 
statesmen’s thoughts are centred 
upon is the possibility of bringing 
the war to an end _by coming to 
terms with their enemies in one way 
or another without fighting the war 
out to the bitter end; whereas the 
men at the head of affairs in Eng- 
land — Asquith, Lloyd George, Grey 
—are absolutely unbending in their 
resolution to entertain no proposals 
of peace except such as would be pre- 
dicated on the decisive defeat of 
Germany. And secondly, the Ger- 
man preoccupation is wholly with 
the question of the ending of this 
war, and has no concern. with the 
Prevention of future wars except in 
so far as this may be implied in the 
demanding of terms of peace which 
shall leave Germany’s mighty state, 
fully capable of defending _ itself 
against aggression, whereas in ut- 
terance after utterance of the leading 
English statesmen the idea is put 
forward of establishing a new re- 
gime, under which, through some 
form of international co-operation, a 
repetition of the stupendous calam- 





ity that has befallen the world will} 


be made impossible.—N. Y.

Marconi, in an address before a
